Lotsa wind...

Well, the forecast was right - wind and more wind.  We are safely anchored in the Salt Pond anchorage in Long Island.  Got enough water to fill our tanks, dumped the garbage, washed clothes, and picked up a few fresh groceries before the winds really picked up.  Didn't take the camera.

Yesterday the wind howled enough to keep us on the boat all day.  In the evening, around 4 pm, a cruisers party began gathering on the beach.  We went, of course, and were glad we did.  Always meet new people.  Forgot the camera.

Today the winds were down this morning so Martha and I went to a different grocery store.  Nice walk after our dinghy ride to the shore.  I didn't take my camera.

Bill and Luke ventured to a nearby beach for some picture taking.  He DID take his camera!



Lunch and dominoes at Martha and Bill's boat before the winds AGAIN picked up, this time as high as they've been for the past few days.  But our anchor is set nicely, there are no boats that can reasonably drag into us, and the winds are supposed to finally die tomorrow mid morning.  If that happens, we will leave for Georgetown, 40 miles away.  If they don't die down in time, we will leave on Wednesday for Georgetown.  Maybe we'll remember to take pictures along the way and have some for the blog LOL!
